The Hit Air Equestrian Light Airbag Vest is worn over your protective vest and inflates instantly in the event of a fall to give you an extra layer of protection from injury. This vest is highly recommended and worn by top riders. The Hit-Air Vest will instantly inflate in the event of a fall protecting the neck, torso, hips and spine using an innovative design with a high speed airbag deployment system that uses a CO2 cartridge to automatically inflate the vest in .25 seconds decreasing your chance of serious injury.

A bungee lanyard (included) is attached to both the saddle and the vest. Should the rider and the horse be separated, the lanyard pulls a "key" out of the CO2 cartridge to inflate the air cushion. The inflated vest absorbs the impact helping to prevent injury. You will hardly notice this super lightweight and comfortable vest even when worn over a riding vest (which is recommended).

This harness type airbag employs the new higher speed key ball mechanism (component that activates the CO2 cartridge). It is quiet when deployed, making it much less likely to spook the horse during an unintended deployment.

A must for all eventersReview by Rebecca from Ramsey

I have wanted one of these for a while but delayed my purchase as I was originally very concerned that it might inflate while still on my horse who can be very exuberant and can toss me around in the saddle like a rag doll when he leaps about. However my concerns were not necessary as the design allows plenty of movement in the saddle. It is really comfortable and I didn't notice it when riding even on top of my bulky Airowear Outlyne body protector (which by the way is the best body protector I've ever worn). I have heard lots of stories about people forgetting to unclip the vest from the saddle before dismounting so have been writing a reminder on my arm in pen until this becomes a habit. I recommend this product to anyone who events regardless of what level you compete at.(Posted on 9/3/2015)
